I haven't taken a plane in years, however. They've gone to so much trouble to make it expensive and unpleasant that I am much happier on a bus or train. The only train stops of the day here are at 1 a.m.,* and it's still nicer than flying.



*Nearly always much, much later, because the train from Denver is basically cursed.
